BOSTON - Mayor Martin J. Walsh and the Department of Innovation and Technology today launched an open source toolkit for the City of Boston’s daily performance management system, CityScore. The open source toolkit will allow other cities and organizations to implement their own version of CityScore. CityScore compiles key performance metrics from city departments every day to provide an at-a-glance view of the City’s overall performance.
“With CityScore, Boston has an opportunity to recognize our outstanding departments and programs, and identify which services we need to focus additional time and resources on,” said Mayor Walsh. “Our goal in Boston is to best serve our constituents, and CityScore is an invaluable, daily review of how we are serving Boston residents. I look forward to sharing our successful model with cities across the country.”
The City of Boston’s Analytics Team, under the Department of Innovation and Technology, today launched the toolkit to bring Boston’s performance innovation to a wider audience. Using the CityScore toolkit, cities, organizations or individuals can now use the City’s toolkit to build their own, customizable version of CityScore.
